Social Action

Social Action (Tikkun Olam)

Social Action or Tikkun Olam is the Jewish imperative to "repair the world" through our actions. This important responsibility is based on the ideas of Rabbi Isaac Luria, a 16th century Jewish teacher and mystic who lived in the mountains of Tzfat in Northern Israel. It speaks of the transformative power of every individual to make a difference in the world.

Our Social Action Committee coordinates a range of programs and events for individuals and families to make a difference in our community. There are many ways you can become involved:

Cooking and serving meals

Organize a collection of needed items

Volunteer at our Annual Mitzvah Day​​​​
